LUBRICATION
There are 42 grease fittings on your base merger. There are two zerks on the optional accelerator. If these
are lubricated properly and often enough, it will prolong the life of the merger. Grease daily during normal
use and before and after storage and after power washing. Use a good grade of high quality grease.
Make sure grease comes out around the shaft on the sleeve type bearings. On the sealed ball bearings,
grease should be added slowly until a slight bead forms at the seals indicating the correct amount of
lubricant. Wipe off excess grease to prevent accumulation of grit around the bearings. During normal use,
oil roller chains daily (Optional accelerator only).
